I’ve created this site for collectors and fans of Josh Agle, the artist more commonly known as Shag. As a collector and fan of Shag’s works, there isn’t much information out there about the collectable side of Shag art, and of greatest interest to me, the investment side of it.
As this blog evolves, I hope to share extensive details on the progression of Shag’s art sales, the trends in appreciation, and in general, a broader enlightening of an artist who has currently held more than 40 sold out exhibitions across the globe in a mere 10 years.
About Me
- PartyCrasher
- I am a fan of Shag living in Southern California, dedicated to bringing you the latest on original paintings created by this Orange County artist. I’ve been a collector and admirer of Josh Agle’s work for more than twelve years, and have been actively tracking resell activity consistently for the last nine. I am fortunate enough to have acquired a handful of originals over the years, with my first purchase being Five Planets. When my name finally came up on a waiting list to purchase a new original, I parted with my first painting, which allowed me to grow my collection. Since then I have become impressed by the increased demand and appreciation of Shag’s work, especially over the past decade. Agle’s work has generally doubled in value over a period of just 3 to 4 years, proving Shag paintings to be a worthy investment. In some cases paintings have more than quadrupled in value. In 1997, an average-sized painting (18x24”) sold for under $1000. Today, a similar sized work generally sells for more than $10,000.
